That Google Doc is fantastic. This is great work.

 

Question: what time was the pull done. It's less than what I was estimating for the region. I'm wondering if it was done earlier, or if my guess work is off. Likely the latter, but just curious.

 

19:31:41 was when I finished. It's in the sheet name.

Kinda sad @Shawn took surprise factor of Marvels bombing to something like $50M away from the general internet public. Wish he stick to $70M ish.

 

Completely missed Shawn's initial forecast with all the TET chaos today.

Oooooh, it got noticed alright:

 

 

271 replies and counting just on the Discussing Film tweet alone.

Wonder how @Shawn's email inbox/DMs/etc are fairing right about now.

Been quite some time since last posting, really just lurking here and there at times, due to dealing with some personal life issues. Weekend ATP for TET is roughly 20.20 - 20.30 at MTC3. I presume MTC1 is a bit higher, with multiple PLF offerings and having the upper hand with early presales. With very minimal review, looking toward 2.5M for tonight.

Welcome back, sorry to hear about real life issues

 

Curious, if you know it, how does that ATP compare to a typical big preview like MCU, Barbie or Oppenheimer? The general range has been around +40-50%, which seems like it might be a bit low given that raw figure for ERAS

Marsh King's Daughter tix will go on sale Oct 26

 

Next Goal Wins tix on Nov 7

The Marvels should come on the high end of that tracking IMO since marketing should kick into higher gear soon and it'll be the first major non-Taylor tentpole since July but I think nearly 5 years was just too long for a sequel to Captain Marvel. The moment to strike while the iron was hot is gone. Overall it's going to be kind of a mid November looking at the slate of movies the month has to offer.

To be fair is anything a shocker with so much tracking info. If the presales were bad until release week, you will start hearing all kinds of stories. Just look back at The Flash or Justice League before this. Its kind of novel for MCU(not sure even Eternals is anywhere in that level) but Disney has had other collosal failures say Indy 5 earlier this year. By the time it opened there was no surprise about it bombing big.

Yesterday evening and today morning it looked like perhaps THU will add up to big sum but sales since today morning seems soft. Let's see how walkups go but probably nothing much.

If this continues for weekend as well, we may see something like $80-90M weekend.

 

THU - 2177/34329 (130 showings)

As of 5PM. Final could be 3K+, that should lead to something like $3M I guess.

At 8:30PM - 2517/34137 (129 showings)

Seems like 2.6-2.7K final.

Seeing FRI sales, not much movement from yday.

Box Office: Taylor Swift ‘Eras Tour’ Concert Pic $5M Previews, Grammy Winner at Chiefs Game – Deadline

 

Quote

Genius Movie Marketing? Taylor Swift Makes A Big Show At Chiefs-Broncos Game For Travis Kelce As ‘Eras Tour’ Concert Pic Opens To Under $5M In Thursday Previews – Box Office

 

 

[Porthos]

"roughly under 5m" + " Please note that’s a very rough estimate for Thursday night, and AMC has not weighed in on that figure"

 

never change, Deadline nev...

 

Quote

Some in distribution circles have snarked that the last-minute decision by team Swift to hold previews is a smack-in-the-face to die-hards who wanted to be the first at the concert pic’s initial showtimes (which were Friday at 6PM) which is expected to rack up $100M+ domestic at 3,850 theaters, and another $50M abroad for a $150M WW global weekend. However, let’s get real: You can always cancel and rebook your tickets. 

 

LOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

 

No, really.  NEVER CHANGE.

Tracking reports out of Sacto are gonna be delayed about another 45 minutes or possibly even longer if I decide to take a Time Out Personal Break (which in that case, I'll post about 2am local).

 

About half way through my marathon tracking tonight (five different tracks!!! [one for my own purposes, fwiw]), access to MTC2 on Fandango suddenly crapped out.  Took me about 15 minutes just to diagnose what the fuck was going on.  Once I finally did, I at least did find out I could still get the seat counts off the MTC2's corp site.

 

But that's playing merry hell with my work flow.

 

Should still be able to get everything tonight, but it's making things take waaaaay longer than it should.  Plus I might want to recheck some of the MTC2 numbers to make sure I'm getting them right as I have to use a diff method and I want to make sure no methodological errors creep in.

 

Still, reports will be forthcoming.  Just maybe be in a bit.

Probably will recheck MTC2 here before retiring for the evening (in about 45 minutes) as this was the one that I really want to dot my T's on.  Other two reports I know are good.  Still, no idea if all the seats just went to previews or not.

 

No time for other thoughts as I have things I need to take care of.

 

Likely this is right, but might be slight errors somewhere, I'll double check in an hour or so.

 

LATER EDIT:
 

As noted below, verification has indeed been done and just a difference of literally (LIT-ER-A-LY) two net tickets in the last two/three hours.

 

So, just looks like the lion's share of tickets sold today did indeed get funneled into Thur previews.  Which I suppose makes sense.

 

No idea what that means for Fri walkups.  Find out when I check tomorrow, I suppose.

Thanks. I hope you don't mind the questions. I'm really impressed with the data pull.

 

How are you pulling the data? What type of time is it taking? I assume you're running a script.

 

Also, how are you dealing with closed off shows. That's always been a thorn in my side with pulls for Cineplex when doing manually. You can't see sales 15 minutes after a show closes. At least it's been like that in the app. Not sure the website.

Taylor Swift MiniTC2 T-2 Days

FRI - 15913/88425 (385 showings)

Taylor Swift MiniTC2 T-1 Day

FRI - 16901/90146 (395 showings)

SAT - 10282/122759 (509 showings)
SUN - 6396/115387 (483 showings)

Added a bit less than 1K on T-1 day. May be 21K ish final but walkups today were low.

 

Since walkups are limited, SAT will likely drop from FRI here.

FINAL SOLD NOTES: "Final sold" is the number of tickets sold for the movie in question at stop of tracking while "% of final" is the percentage of The Era Tour's current tickets sold versus that final number.

AD-HOC COMP NOTE: "Ad-hoc Comp" is the normal comp multiplied by 1.45x (a 45% increase), which is what I am using for now to account for the difference in ATP between TET and all other films.

Probably will recheck MTC2 here before retiring for the evening (in about 45 minutes) as this was the one that I really want to dot my T's on.  Other two reports I know are good.  Still, no idea if all the seats just went to previews or not.

 

No time for other thoughts as I have things I need to take care of.

 

Likely this is right, but might be slight errors somewhere, I'll double check in an hour or so.

 

Alright, this has indeed been VERIFIED.  Very minor differences from initial count.

 

Spoilered for length:

MTC2 differences:

MTC3 differences:

Minor Chain 1 differences:

Minor Chain 2 differences:

For an overall difference of +2 tickets.

 

Gee, it's like this town shuts down after midnight or sumthin'.  (as I believe I once said to a slightly skeptical @charlie Jatinder 😉  [or possibly @keysersoze123, I forget]). 

 

Difference of a literal couple of seats and nothing I am gonna lose sleep over.

 

As such, gonna edit out the PROVISIONAL comment and make a couple of other minor editorial edits, but leave the count AS-IS. 👍

One last thing before I turn in for the night.

 

Almost certainly wasn't gonna do it anyway, but thanks to MTC2 crapping out on Fandango, at least for me and the servers I'm pinging (***STILL*** having problems RIGHT NOW, BTW), literally zero chance of me doing a Sat/Sun regional check locally.

 

Mind, the desire for it kinda evaporated once Thursday previews happened, so it was unlikely I would have ended up doing it; but my Fandango problems tonight sealed the deal. Fighting with Fandango/having to go to other corp site/verifying Friday's track just now ate up all my spare time anyways so even if MTC2 suddenly cleared up for me, wouldn't have the time for it.

 

So while it would have been interesting for the Historical Record, afraid it'll just have to remain a What Might Have Been.
